Where Is Parking Sensor

[Dave-G]

:( Can somebody confirm where the control box is for the parking distance sensors? :D

 

I replaced the black box under the passenger seat because it had become corroded following footwell flooding. I was led to examine that area by my local ford dealer after i took the car there 'cos the parking sensors dint work after i bought a galaxy[not my current one] from an independant dealer.

 

I ask this because the carpet had been disturbed and the control box THEY SUGGESTED WAS CORRODED AND FAULTY actually was corroded and faulty . . . .with me so far? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .AND IT WAS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

 

At this time the central locking was working correctly,including the remote central locking.

 

After I replaced the black box,the central locking continued to work normally. :D BUT THE PARKING DISTANCE SENSORS ALSO STARTED WORKING :D still with me?...

 

:wub: It has been suggested on this forum that the box under the seat is for central locking :lol:

 

so was it just luck that I had disturbed an earth wire or something? and if so where is the ACTUAL PARKING DISTANCE THINGY?

 

:lol: this is for educational purposes only ,I dont have a fault with my car,but it seems I gave incorrect advice to another member for which I apolagise. :lol:

 

could the black box be a "multi-function control box"?

:huh: Fredt..."again all these positions are dependant of the year and spec of the vehicle " :rolleyes:

 

Now that COULD BE PERTINENT....The car was april 2k build date, had a 1 year wty, 60000 cambelt interval,and it's brake pads should have been ones to fit 16"wheels...they dint(it was a zetec with 16"alloys)

 

:P I guess mine was an inbetweeny :lol: photo shows the box I refer to

SSSOOO :o

WHERE ARE ALL THE ANTICIPATED REPLIES FROM MEMBERS THAT SUGGEST THE BOX UNDER THE SEAT IS CENTRAL LOCKING?? :rolleyes:

:o I mean...I HAVE invited some form of correction :o The only reply I got is from Fredt(thanks Fredt)

 

perhaps some of you could take a pic of YOUR central locking box.. and wiring ...under the passenger seat?

Oh great! Another thing to try and do when/if it stops raining, after I've re-wired the outside house lights, mixed some sand and cement and re-fixed some loose bricks, washed down the driveway, swept some more of someone else's leaves off the front garden.........

 

Happy New Year!
